While it is not very natural to copy from output into script editor,
this feature is not very convenient if copy-past some code from
pdf-files, e.g. User's Guide into the script editor This is not
necessary a bug but may be considered a thing to change
OK, since we emit the Unicode minus sign on output, we should probably
also accept it on input. That's now done in git: U+2212 can be used in
place of ASCII '-' (though that's not something we'd recommend).
But copy-paste from hansl code in PDF files is surely a different
matter; such code should not contain U+2212.
